On Tuesday morning at the "Sun, Sea and Sand" located in The Royal Hotel, the WBC's 48th annual convention continued with the committee meeting to change world rankings, with promoters, managers, representatives and the general public being present.

Some of the changes from today include - Heavyweight Alexander Povekyin was moved from position #8 to #5, a request was put in to raise Hasim Rahman to the top 15, Gary Shaw asked for consideration to include Antonio Tarver in the heavyweight rankings, Gary Shaw asked for #10 cruiser LaBeef Kayode to be moved to #6 and the committee approved it, the committee approved a Troy Ross to be ranked at position #7 at cruiser, Brian Minto was moved from # 25 to #15 at cruiser, Ola Afolabi was promoted from # 11 to #9 at cruiser. 

Don Majeski recommended that the #4 contender Adrian Diaconu was upped to #2 at light heavy, but no one seconded the motion and it was rejected, Zolt Erdei climbed from # 9 to # 5 at light heavy, Robert Bolonti climbed from # 5 to # 4 at light heavy,  Anthony Dirrell went from # 30 to # 15 at super middle, Glenn Johnson was integrated into the 168-pound division with the global classification of # 15.
